Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) will put his WBC and IBF world middleweight
titles on the line in a fight that most are expecting him to win.
However, his opponent, Daniel Jacobs, is arguably the best
all-around fighter he’ll have faced up to this point in his career
and is more than capable of pulling off the upset. “GGG” has his
sights on a mega fight with Mexican superstar Saul “Canelo” Alvarez
later this year and some question his focus going in against
Jacobs, but at the Friday morning weigh-ins, the Kazakhstani came
in looking as fierce as ever. Golovkin weighed in at 159.6
pounds.

Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) has his WBA 160-pound title on the line in
the biggest middleweight unification bout in years. “Miracle Man”
has promised the knockout upset ever since the fight was made
official and he is the personification of a live underdog. The
popular cancer survivor looked as equally ready and sculpted as his
foe did and when Jacobs stepped onto the scale, he nailed it.
Jacobs, from Brooklyn, came in a few ounces heavier at 159.8
pounds.
